Fapping, you touch yourself and fantasize about a person in your head. Sex, You get to talk, see, touch, taste, and smell that person.
For me it never left me feeling empty or without strength. It was a great substitute for a sex life since I only have relationships with women here and there. Heck, many nights it left me energized, and for the most part feeling great. Sex with a woman... yes, better for me because although my hands felt great, when I masturbated I was still by myself with no warm, wet, excited person laying with, under, on top of me. Our skin is our largest bodily organ, so that skin to skin contact is just awesome, and you don't get it when masturbating (alone at least). Having that other person react to what you do and feeling yourself react to what they do makes a big difference. ....oh, and not that you have to kiss during sex, but it you do, that adds a whole other level of intimacy and awesome feelings. Although masturbating/porn became a problem for me (hopefully the problem was mainly the porn, because I'd like to go back to masturbating in another 37 days, albeit much less than I was) it was great for years and years. I'm not the kind of guy who is going meet/hook up with women left and right, so my life consists of months/years between female companions, so masturbating gave me somewhat of a sex life for long periods of time when I would have had none... but my right hand (or left) will never be comparable to a female body.
I haven't had sex in almost ten years now, mostly because of my mental problems and escape into the porn world. Still I remember it very vividly. It's something completely different to M. The intimacy (especially if it's a person you're really close to/in love with) just can't be explained without experiencing it.
